Pain depends on the severity of the infection, the depth of the root canal, the "skill" of the dentist, and your pain threshold. There's lots of factors in a root canal which can increase/decrease pain.
I've personally had three root canals. At some points during, it is not comfortable at all. I've never felt pain during any of my root canals, probably because of the anasthetic which is used. In my last root canal I had a small ache afterwards for two days, which I'd pitch at around 2 out of 10.
My wife (66) has just experienced this problem. On a scale of 0-10 she rated it as 8 or 9. So the simple answer is this can get extremely painful.
Yes. I had a root canal done on one of mine when I was 10 or 11 and one on the other front tooth a couple years later, as the result of an accident.
6 year olds get their first adult molar at the back of the mouth , and if a cavity gets too deep quickly, the nerve will die, and the tooth will need root canal treatment.

I am experiencing this right now. Mine is caused by a cyst in my upper jaw (maxilla) between my canine and 1st molar. I had a cyst removed from the same area 10 years ago. Now I have another larger, more painful cyst in the same area. It throbs, and feels tired. I will have this surgically removed by an oral surgeon, but this time I required a double root canal first. The root canal treatment was NOT painful, and I was very scared to go! But it was the easy part. Good luck - see your dentist for an xray ASAP
Yes - some Doctors don't numb the area at all.
Yes it is slightly painful, you do feel the needle pushing through and after you have soreness where the needle entered, it is about a 3/10 on the pain scale.
4 x square root of 10 minus square root of 10 = 3 x square root of 10.

You can take out the perfect square 4: root(40) = root(4 x 10) = root(4) x root(10) = 2 root(10).
The scale factor is 1:100 for the area. The linear scale factor is 1:10.
